Powerful and Poignant
Although the show is presumably abut death it is also about loss and grief that can come from all the aspects of our life. I hope it is ok to cry; I did. There were also moments I laughed. And many times I thought of others, both those living through grief and loss, and those who have died or are gone. I applaud the team for taking on a powerful subject. And although I drive by that park weekly, I never knew that space was there. It is an excellent setting for this drama. I hope all their scheduled performances are in good weather!

Ready for prime time!
This was an excellent production of a well-developed storyline with good character development. The actors were excellent and engaging. The production (set, lights, music) was appropriate. The story is compelling, interesting, funny, and very thoughtful. In different ways it touches many of our own lives and families. I only hope this was a "test" of the script, and that Kari will expand it into a full-length production. For obvious reasons it was cut to Fringe size. But there is more than enough character development and plot line that could make a full length play. There were a few moments that I felt we were getting the edited version. I look forward to the whole prime time show!

Powerful story of immigrant culture clashes
This powerful story told in dramatic fashion is a powerful reminder of the clashes of culture that occur for immigrants to this country every day from many places. I left wanting to know more of her own experience and how some of the situations evolved. I recommend it to anyone who knows immigrants to this country from anywhere (that should be ALL of us!) as a reminder of the stories that are happening in their lives, sometimes behind the scenes to neighbors and friends.

Excellent production of thought provoking drama
Well written. Excellent, powerful acting. Good staging. And thought-provoking and insightful material. This is an excellent production of a provocative subject. Both actors were outstanding throughout the whole production in some very complicated staging. A must see for those of us history and politics junkies.
